The bigger tanks will not fit on the 07-08 bikes. A friend of mine tried it and it was a very ugly situation to say the least.

At this time I do not think so

If the Husaberg guys could get Clarke to make oversize tanks for the 'bergs, we should be able to get a production run for '07+ Gassers.

I don't need one, but for a lot of guys it's a deal breaker when they're looking at a 2 stroke. **Dealers** - commitments and requests from you to Clarke would help.

Steve/Mark - any collaborations on a larger tank '07+?

Good point, well I´m willing to talk to the local GasGas dealer to see if he would commit to buying some, also I dont even have a GasGas yet, but would buy a tank.
I´m going to email Chris at Clarke´s to ask how many they need ordered to make a batch.
Cheers

Oh well it was worth a try, here is the question and answer:

Hi again Chris

If there was a commitment to buy a certain amount of tanks, would Clarke be
willing to make a batch ? If so, how many tanks would you need a commitment for?

Cheers

Sent the same question to IMS, see if I get an answer after the week end.
As a matter of interest, what sort of average milegae do you get from a stock tank on an EC300 ? You know- mixed terrain, climbs, sand etc. I would like to get at least 100 miles (160 Km) from a full tank.
Cheers

A mate of mine has an '07 EC300 and he is a very fast rider. He and my uncle rode around 98 kilometers last weekend, an even mixture of tight and open stuff, and lots of big climbs and down hilss (very hilly in this area of Australia). When they got back to camp he checked his fuel. He hadn't hit reserve but he wasnt far off it.

So i think a fair bet is that you could probably get 100 kilometers out of the stock 9,5 litre tank. However, i wasn't on the ride, so i'm not sure of how hard he actually rode, or of the exact tracks, from what I gather it was a mix of open and tight riding, and he pushed fairly hard.

I figure about 50 miles per tank on my stock 300, but I'm not sure. It's probably closer to 60 but I wouldn't push it. The reserve is minimal (1 mile ?).

Thanks guys, so its 90-10Km per tank. A 14 litre tank will give then around 140 Km - so thats OK.
Hopefully someone will like to make a tank ,see what IMS say after the week end.
